What are we doing?
From 6pm on Wednesday 24 July, we’ll be potholing around the railway crossing on Langdons Road. This investigation work is required to understand the location and condition of underground services, as well as any potential clashes or risks to the construction of the upgraded railway crossing. If weather is unfavourable, this work will be carried out on a night following.
Traffic Impacts
Night Works
Work will be carried out at night. The crew need lights to see what they are working on so you may notice extra light coming from the street. There will be noise from trucks, machinery and the crew working overnight.
Due to the high traffic volumes in this area and the narrow road width, work must be completed on night shift. This ensures the safety of our workers and also reduces traffic impacts.
We will aim to complete the most disruptive work in the evenings to keep any overnight disruption to a minimum. We will also aim to complete the work as quickly as we can.
How do we carry out potholing?
During potholing, a hydrovac will be on site. This machine uses high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum to remove soil, which is noisy work.
The soil is then transferred to a debris tank to keep mess to a minimum. This is a safe, non-destructive and accurate way to remove soil or locate underground utilities, such as pipes, electrical cables and phone lines.
Once the services have been located and assessed, the potholes will be backfilled and resurfaced.
